QSep is a C++ project conceived in 2001 when I started my PhD in chemical engineering at the University of Amsterdam. Being first introduced to ChemSep, which is very a powerful NEQ simulator, I realized the necessity for a more specific tool to carry out my particular research work, mainly consisting in phase equilibrium calculations with chemical reactions. With the pass of time I decided to turn QSep into a more general tool for research on reactive distillation and simulation of distillation column. I'm glad with the result. Using the Windows philosophy , QSep is rather intuitive for most chemical engineers, or at least to those with some training in process simulation. It consist of several input dialogs to introduce the basic information: a component list, thermodynamic parameters, problem specification etc. The component list is still restricted to only few chemicals. QSep is built using C++ code with the object oriented programming philosophy. Numerical subroutines were taken from the math library by IMSL, this reduced considerable the programming time. For the moment QSep is not yet available for open public and still under development and bugs correction. |
